Tom, of Bolsover, tragically passed away aged 23 while he was playing football at Gosforth Fields in Dronfield on July 31 last year.

The Sheffield United fan and keen gym-goer sadly suffered a cardiac arrest due to an undiagnosed heart condition.

Joe's defibrillator map app is now available for iOS and Android - search for 'Defib Map'.

Joe said: "The app was created to make the defibrillator map more accessible for people on the go and gives people an easier way of adding defibrillators.

"It's done in conjunction with the Tom Henson Charity, which is the charity we set up to allow us to install defibrillators in local areas that need them."

Joe said a charity bake sale will be held to help raise funds for these defibrillators.

This will take place at the Pillar of Rock on Castle Street, Bolsover, between 10am and 1pm on November 24.
